It's great if it is done well. Usually it's not. If you haven't read Trainspotting I highly recommend you check that book out. When I first started on it, it felt fucking draining but you get used to it surprisingly fast. Going from Finnegans Wake to Trainspotting feels like going from a marathon to a 1600.

It's really easy to fuck it up or sound like you're trying too hard, not to mention people might just lose interest and drop the book instead of learning the dialect. One example of a common fuckup might be if you're trying to emulate a southern accent... it comes across as condescending a lot of the time.
